When we were visiting friends in London years back , we were outside the London Dungeons walking past the window displays and everyone just stopped and stared because they saw my Head being held in the air by an Executioner. The likeness was Freaky. lolz

I wouldn't call them flashbacks, but a few times a particular smell has triggered a vivid memory/feeling. For instance, smells like cut grass, a freshly tarred street, and Caladryl have sent me back to times in my childhood that I can't believe I remember.

Oh actually there is a difference between the two. A memory is something that an individual remembers from their past while a flashback is a very sudden and vivid disturbing memory that is often brought on by with drugs like LSD or psychological trauma that one has experienced in their life. I know the difference because I have suffered from flashbacks due to trauma. Flashbacks often occur without warning & it is like reliving a horrific experience all over again.
